Andrew Sullivan's self-identification with the
opponents of the Ahmadinejad regime in Iran is
a mirror image of his enthusiasm seven years
ago for the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
Nonetheless, he will tell you that in terms of core
values, he's a conservative, like Edmund Burke,
and not a radical, like Leon Trotsky (though,
in physical appearance, he resembles the latter
much more than the former). Things didn't turn out
in Iraq as Andrew had hoped. Maybe he will be luckier
this time around and his revolutionary dream for Iran
will come closer to matching his conservative ideal.
